    • Auction / listing history (when available)
    • Listing details and images (if provided)
    • Condition notes / announcements (when available)
    • Basic vehicle identifiers

    What to cross-check before you bid

    When you’re buying from IAAI, the highest ROI checks are the ones that prevent expensive surprises: title brands, mileage anomalies, and major loss indicators.

    • Title branding: salvage/rebuilt/flood and related flags (if reported).
    • Odometer signals: inconsistent readings can be a red flag.
    • Event timing: some events appear later depending on the source.

    Where to find the VIN (and how to avoid mix-ups)

    Use the VIN from the IAAI detail page and confirm it matches the photos and listing metadata (year/make/model, trim cues). If you’re comparing multiple lots, copy the VIN into your notes and keep the lot number with it to prevent cross-lot confusion.

    Valid VINs are 17 characters and do not contain I, O, or Q.

    Recommended workflow for IAAI buyers

    1. Review the listing: photos, damage type, and notes.
    2. Run a history report: title/odometer/accident indicators.
    3. Compare providers if needed: add a second provider on high-value vehicles.
    4. Inspect: in-person or trusted third-party inspection.
